Cancer is among the major causes of mortality, responsible for approximately 15% of all deaths worldwide. Despite remarkable progress in modern medicine, it remains a significant global health challenge. Nevertheless, conventional therapies such as c...
With the rapid advancements in automation and soft robotics, the exploration of mobile robots for applications in complex environments is increasingly deepening. This paper presents a novel dual soft arm mobile robot (DSAMR), whose design integrates ...
Salps are underwater invertebrates considered to be among the world's most energy-efficient examples of jet propulsion. They can swim as solitary individuals or as physically connected colonies, coordinating their jets to produce collective movement....
Vision is a critical sensory function for humans, animals, and engineered systems, enabling environmental perception essential for imaging and autonomous operation. Although bioinspired, tunable optical systems have advanced adaptability and performa...
Achieving robust and energy-efficient navigation in unknown fluid environments remains a key challenge for bioinspired underwater robots. In this study, we develop a reinforcement learning-based control framework that enables a fish-like swimmer to a...
Sea turtle hatchlings display maneuvering capabilities across diverse aquatic and coastal terrains. While turning behavior is crucial in aquatic environments, it is equally vital for terrestrial locomotion by hatchlings that must quickly navigate obs...
Recent neuroscience discoveries on human hand synergies have inspired the development of underactuated robotic hands, which replicate human-like grasping capabilities using a minimal number of actuators. However, a generalized methodology for determi...
The passive compliance of a soft worm-like body can be a key advantage for traversal of complex confined spaces, but in practice, the body's stiffness and contact friction often require experimental adjustments. Here, for the first time, we develop a...
Collective intelligence in biological groups can be employed to inspire the control of artificial complex systems, such as swarm robotics. However, modeling for the social interactions between individuals is still a challenging task. Without loss of ...
Conventional rigid grippers remain the most-used robotic grippers in industrial assembly tasks. However, they are limited in their ability to handle a diverse range of objects. This study draws inspiration from nature to address these limitations, em...
